About Keith Martin
After finishing a BA in Fine Art Keith Martin found himself helping on the build of an exhibition for the Natural History museum in London and what started as a short 3 month contract turned into a career of over 25 years that has taken him all over the world.
Keith has designed, built, installed and photographed exhibitions, written successful applications for EU grants, managed large scale projects, trained staff in maintenance and led workshops in ideas development and design.
Recent work includes a faith based photography project for the National Trust, leading photo workshops and documenting projects for Newham Heritage month and working with the Wellcome collection and artist Jim Naughten to create the 3d viewers for ‘Objects in Stereo’.
Of an evening you will often find him part of a small team running the award winning venue ‘The Wanstead Tap’ in East London.
